We are a growing building contractor delivering refurbishment, maintenance and construction projects across London. As our business continues to expand, we are looking for a Commercial Coordinator to take ownership of procurement, supplier management and commercial support across multiple projects.
This is a key position within a small, hands-on business where your contribution will have a direct impact on project delivery and profitability.
This is not a corporate QS role. We are looking for a practical, commercially minded individual who is equally comfortable negotiating subcontractor quotations as they are raising purchase orders, chasing suppliers and resolving day-to-day site requirements.
The successful candidate will work closely with the Directors, Site Managers and supply chain to ensure projects are procured efficiently, delivered on time and remain commercially controlled throughout.
